Photographer

This is one of the photographers from my Faroe Islands workshop last year. The buildings behind him are the port that I featured day before yesterday. The bench provided a resting place, but I was intrigued by the inscription. Google Translate identified it as Danish and interpreted is as gibberish. When I forced the translation to "new Faroe" it translated it as:
" he gets a port, which waits, and a port, which ror" which is clearly incomplete.
If I had to guess, I would hope it said something like "he has a home port that waits while he goes to a far port."
(Hey, I never claimed to be a poet!)

Welcome to all. I began blogging Retained-Images in 2004 at My-Expressions.com. It is gone now.

I don't know if this expression is used in English, but in France we say "L'arroseur arrosé" when we see one photograph capture another.

@Marie: colloquial expressions often make no sense when translated word for word!

Hiro from Kyoto, Japan

There are three words ending in "r" in the sentence, which seem to rhyme.

That looked like a great workshop with such a grand landscape. Good to see that I'm not the only one who uses telephoto zoom lens for landscapes.

As a payback, he could have caught Harry off guard and taken his picture.
